golden hours for warmer tones, capturing the blue tinted
tones just before dawn, and right after dusk.
“For me, light is the crucial element in photography,” she
explains, “I prefer to shoot with natural light, especially at the
start and the end of the day. I love the long exposure effects,
especially during blue hours.”
Though she relies on nature’s light to form the foundational
tone of her photography, Hanna looks to Lightroom to
make adjustments in contrast, sharpening and varying the
saturation of colours.
As an evident lover of the natural world and its life forms,
Hanna yearns to travel to Africa and experience the unique
beauty of the savanna, not just to take phenomenal images of
the animals roaming free of captivity, but also to experience
the special beauty of the tropical grasslands. Hanna also has
dreams of travelling to Scandinavia to see the fjords and
crystalline beauty of winter. Although this wintery landscape
is quite contrasting to the rich colours of the sultry savanna,
the connecting thread is her unbiased love of nature.
Despite her technically sound approach, Hanna is a
self-taught photographer, who began by watching nature
documentaries. She aspired to memorize each of the carefully
captured moments, all in preparation for creating her own
chronicles of the vast and untold beauty that surrounded her.
In addition to photography, Hanna has recently taken
on the role of an ambassador for Lyon. A true lover of the
city, Hanna is passionate about sharing the splendor of her
historical hometown. While being an honour, this role also
affords Hanna the opportunity to share her images with a
wider audience through the City of Lyon website and its
publications. Hanna divulges, “I would love to make people
know of the city of Lyon through my photography, the full
beauty of it, down to the most minute detail.”
